I will update in a couple weeks, but DARN! The ONE time we wanted a cockerel. Trying to get a good little breeding flock going!

Never fails! Haha. I think they are worth holding out for a good rooster to keep the color going!

To answer your question from the other post, they won't grow out of the leakage unfortunately. It will only get worse. Also, you have no frizzles in your group. The frizzling with these guys shows up by the time they are about a week old. This is what frizzles would look like at about 3-4 weeks.View attachment 3047536

Some updated pics of the babies. Still confident they are all female. I rehomed the ones with leakage and bought a full grown roo and hen from the breeder to give a better start to the breeding program.

And for fun: my Nankin flock that hatched out the same time. 3 males and 4 females. It’s a mix of rose and single combs but a good mix so I’ll separate for breeding purposes when that becomes an issue.

We’ll eventually I’ll be selling and shipping eggs after I get npip, they’ll be on the cheaper side until I can confirm leakage percentage.
